To be honest I would not use anything but good quality PSU's in anything I care about, I have seen my fair share of dodgy PSU fails and consequences afterwards.
PSU's seems to be something many people tend to ignore but it's a cheap insurance :)

Startech seems to be one of those junk PSU's you should stay away from :/

Anyways, glad to help :)


Yeah, I think getting a good Asus or other higher end ATX with an adapter is the route I may go. My current AT is a replacement 300W that is fine, but I want something with better cable management that another AT wouldnt give me.

Amazing! Even a 300w one in stock!

I can tell you from bad experience that the
Athena Power AP-AT30 300W



are junk. Very hit and miss, i had 7 of them new.. 2 didnt work out of the box, one had solder rolling around inside and low voltages,3 died within a month,and the last one delevloped a dead short.. absolute junk unfortunately.


i suspect the 230W one is made by the same bunch,but i couldnt track the maker down to prove it.


A quality atx with adapter is prob. best,and it gives you the option of 3.3v hack for mediator to use 3.3v cards.
The only problem is many are missing the -5v.

Uh oh, I think the spare I have in inventory is one of these. Looks like I should junk it!

After reading reviews on them I am staying away as well. I am going for the Amikit adaptor and just ordered this to go with it.
